Lisbon is a city that truly captures the heart, bathed in a golden light that makes every terracotta roof and tiled wall glow.

Portugal is famous for its seafaring history and breathtaking landscapes, but its wine list can feel intimidating for many first-time travelers. There is a quiet, humble pride in every glass poured here, rooted in traditions passed down for centuries. Here’s the Portuguese wine and Port guide I share with everyone before their first trip to the Douro Valley, so you can sip with confidence.
Exploring the famous historic capitals of Europe is a wonderful experience, and places like Rome or Paris certainly have their own magic. However, lately, so many of you have asked me where you can go that isn’t congested or overrun by tourism.
As someone known as the River Cruise Girl, I have a deep love for river cruising. But in 2018, I spent three weeks exploring Portugal by land, and I truly fell in love with the country.

It’s all real, and it’s waiting for you.
There’s something magical about spring in Amsterdam. It’s a season when the entire city feels alive, with vibrant tulips blooming everywhere you look and the fresh scent of spring filling the air. Each year, as I help clients plan for our Tulip Time Cruise, I feel a bit like the girl on a bike in our logo, inspired by Amsterdam’s beauty and charm. It’s this same spirit that makes the Tulip Time Cruise such a one of a kind experience.
Southeast Asia has always been on my personal travel bucket list, and I’m particularly excited about this Mekong River Cruise.

If you’re curious about new places and eager for adventure, you’re going to love this trip.
